Feisty Friday and today I’m sharing what I consider a cardinal sin of asking questions in a group setting. Asking basics that you could easily Google doesn’t cast you in the best light, so ask Google first, then your community, next. Show notes with key points and links for this episode available at www.maggiepatterson.com/episode59.

Items Discussed in this Episode:

Going to a community to ask a google-answerable question time after time is a waste of time (and makes you look bad).

To be a good citizen of an online community, you need to make sure your question is helpful to others, not just all about you.

If you use Google to teach yourself how to do something and don’t just have surface knowledge, you can just use that for your clients in the future.
